Visual Artist and Craft Maker Award, Argyll and Bute 2022/23

The Visual Artist and Craft Makers Awards (VACMA) offer small grants to visual artists and craft makers for their creative development at all stages of their career.

These awards are supported by Creative Scotland through funding from the National Lottery in partnership with Argyll and Bute Council and made possible in Argyll and Bute by support from CHARTS.  This year we will continue to offer fixed bursaries in recognition of the ongoing impacts of COVID-19 on individual artists and makers. The VACMA scheme offers two levels of bursaries:    

• Bursaries of £750
• Early-career bursaries of £500 (for applicants that have less than five  years’ experience outside of education/training, graduated in 2016 or later, or who have not studied art formally but have been practising as an artist for up to five years).   

The deadline for Argyll and Bute will be 5pm, Tuesday 7 February 2023.
